Pros

Fully remote for employees outside British Columbia.

Cons

The company culture has taken a dramatic change for the worse. The toxic culture is the worst I've ever seen in my career. Death by micromanagement. Your daily activities are planned then audited and criticized by the leadership team Long working hours with unreasonable start times. Frequent 06:30 AM internal meetings. 21:00 evening deployments. 10-12 hour shifts are not uncommon. Mental health is not a priority. Base employees will CRY often due to the amount of stress from the unreasonable timelines. Priorities change daily with zero consideration of the impact. You are still expected to meet original deadlines after being forced to change your "TOP PRIORITY TODAY". Technical team resides in Serbia but only a few are willing to meet during North American business hours. A handful work very late hours but are very short-tempered because of it. Software is complex but no training is offered. The company's knowledge base is useless. Zero runway for training before you are forced into client meetings. Incompetent employees are normal. The good ones already left. PM turnover is laughable. All the negative reviews are very accurate. RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN

Thank you for taking time to send us your comments. We are always looking for feedback that can help us grow and improve. The work we do at Inovatec is challenging and complex, unfortunately there is no quick manual that you can read and become an expert in what we do. In many situations, the hands-on approach, and learning on the job is the quickest way for our team to master the product and become efficient, especially for PM roles. We are proud of our culture, and the fact that our leaders and managers, on top of their already busy weeks, find time to be on project calls to guide the team members, provide feedback, and help them learn and become efficient as quickly as possible. We are committed to our team who are genuinely excited and energized by the environment in which we operate, and we are proud that our annual employee engagement surveys on overall satisfaction, working environment and atmosphere, vision and values, diversity, equity and inclusion have been consistently in the high 80%. We are committed to help our customer deliver strategic solutions that are mission critical for their value propositions. We understand that our culture and our mission may not be satisfying or inspiring for everyone. We thank you for your feedback and wish you all the best in your future endeavors.

Pros

Supportive HR Department: Despite facing challenges, the HR team consistently offers assistance and remains responsive to the needs of employees. Empathetic Managers: Many managers display empathy and actively support their teams, contributing to a positive work environment. Shared Challenges: The experience of layoffs among managers underscores the shared difficulties faced by employees and leaders within the organization.

Cons

Executive Focus: Management exhibits a concerning tendency to disproportionately emphasize employee mistakes, even in cases where these errors stem from sudden process changes implemented without adequate documentation or explanation. Employees often find themselves navigating ambiguous directives and unspoken expectations, resulting in a climate where misunderstandings and missteps are commonplace. This fixation on negativity undermines morale and disregards the valuable contributions made by individuals, ultimately fostering a demoralizing and disheartening work environment. Toxic Company Culture: The absence of compassion and empathy among senior leadership has created a toxic work environment characterized by pervasive micromanagement, relentless nitpicking, and instances of verbal abuse. The recent poor hiring decisions in the executive level has only compounded these issues, further contributing to a sense of disillusionment among employees. Additionally, one new executive have adopted a dictatorial approach, exacerbating the oppressive atmosphere within the organization.

Pros

They paid and nice people (not newer management besides Vlad who worked with his team).

Cons

- Unrealistic expectations. If you don’t work 60 hours a week, you will be kicked out. The current team won’t speak up or will be booted like the previous, as a revolving door of employees. - Newer leadership (VV and PH) is creating a toxic workplace, removing people who care about the company and its teams' well-being. - Current team is looking for new jobs, but forced in current market to stay. Hating every moment being at the company. - Moving most positions to Serbia since clients bail.
